I called the police Monday because my son was threatening and physically fighting with us. 42 vrs 70. Over cleaning out my closet. He is basically doing a swedish death clean without my input. He is throwing out my stuff, upsetting the whole house by moving from project to project. If I say I want to go through it, he says I am a hoarder and I don't need it. I am not a hoarder, I have season things in a basement.
In recent days he has held a knife to his neck, first time I talked him down , second time I called police and they took him in. Now he calls me every 1/2 hr to bully me to tell them I lied and to get him released.
He scares us with his instant rage towards us, If a conversation doesn't go his way. I am hoping they don't release him today, and they are able to help him. I believe he will say what he has to do leave. They said not to answer his calls if they upset me, but I am trying to get him to understand my views, but he twists the truth to suit him. He calls to tell me he hates me, I say why are you calling me, your all I have. And he ends call crying.

I order for us together our son help, we did a 5150 and stipulated he could not return to our house as we were frightened he would hurt us, himself or do damage to our house which he did.
He went through a county program for 9 months and is stable and doing well.
He does have relapses but once back on his meds, talking to his Drs he has more control.
If he can get into a program there is hope.
I’m so sorry what you’re going through. We’ve been there for the past 16 years. It is heartbreaking to see, hear, and deal with psychosis and your loved one is not the same as before his illness surfaced. Get yourself a support group. NAMI is a great resource. So is Buckelew if they have that where you live.
